Another Side Post About Video Editing

Seeing as how my next entry in the O.I. Saga may be awhile, I thought I'd do another somewhat rambly blog post about another hobby I'm into. Video Editing. I posted a link to one of my review videos in my previous blog, if you want to see what that's like.

So creating videos was something I've done ever since I was a little kid, but to a less complicated calibrator obviously. :P Back then, all I had to work with was a camera, and a bunch of toys to use as characters. Now obviously....those videos don't hold up very well. XD But I will say there were times where I'd get creative with how I recorded these videos, aswell as how I would transfer them to VHS. Pausing the VCR recording so I could fast forward the camera past parts I didn't want to include, then resuming the recording, messing with the built in effects on the camcorder, basically creating the illusion of editing. Those videos still don't hold up, but you know what, looking back, that was still pretty clever. Nice going Mini-Me. :P

So if you couldn't already guess, video editing was just something I naturally picked up on, even in my little kiddie days. Now we flash forward years later where I discovered the world of YouTube. As I created more videos on that site, my editing style became more and more complex, until it eventually became the editing style that you see before you today. As I said a few blogs ago, my favorite videos to work on are the review videos, as they're the videos I put the most time and energy into. Lots of effects, some 3D animations, (another thing I'm into) and like I said before, even working my way into including some story arcs into this series. It's a fun time all around. :D

There are obviously alot of aspects to creating a video, but the editing process is by far my favorite part of it, as that's the part where you finally see the finalized product come to life. What about you guys? What are some hobbies that you're into? Or do you agree with me about how awesome video editing is? XD Fill free to let me know in the comments. In the meantime, here's a review I did of some of those old home movies I was talking about. You guys get to see some of the special effects I do in my newer videos, along side the crummy quality of my older videos. It's a win win! XD Anyway, thanks for reading, and you may or may not see an update to the O.I. saga next week. Not sure yet. I've got another plan in the works for Operation: Red Robin. :P I'll play it by ear, and see how it goes. Until then, see you in the next blog everyone. :P
